FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Orbion?
Orbion is a next-generation Layer 1 blockchain built for modular scalability, low-latency execution, and trustless coordination. It combines EVM compatibility with native DeFi, bridge infrastructure, and a staking-based security model.
2. Is Orbion EVM-compatible?
✅ Yes. Orbion is fully compatible with Ethereum smart contracts, meaning developers can deploy Solidity-based dApps using familiar tools like Hardhat, Remix, or Foundry — without any code changes.
3. What is the purpose of $ORB?
$ORB is the native utility token used for:
Transaction fees
Validator staking & delegation
On-chain governance
Liquidity pairing
Bridge collateral
Ecosystem incentives
$ORB is the core coordination layer of the Orbion chain.
4. Is Orbion live on mainnet?
Orbion is currently live on Testnet and will launch Mainnet in Phase 4. You can connect via MetaMask using our RPC Guide.
5. Where can I get testnet $ORB tokens?
You can request free testnet $ORB from the Orbion Faucet. Make sure you’re connected to Orbion Testnet (Chain ID: 9119) in your wallet.
6. How do I bridge $ORB between BSC and Orbion?
Use the Orbion Bridge to move $ORB:
BSC Testnet ↔ Orbion Testnet
BSC Mainnet ↔ Orbion Mainnet (coming soon)
All bridge operations are non-custodial and use lock/mint + burn/unlock logic.
7. Is the code open source?
Yes. Core contracts and infrastructure tools will be open-sourced and verified at mainnet. Public GitHub will be published under the Orbion Foundation.
8. How can I become a validator?
Validators must stake $ORB and run a full node. See our Validator Setup Guide for requirements and step-by-step instructions.
9. Does Orbion support staking?
Yes. Delegators can stake $ORB to trusted validators and earn rewards. Staking contracts are deployed on both testnet and mainnet (upon launch).
10. How can I contribute to the project?
Builders can contribute via:
dApp development
Governance participation
Node operation
SDK/tooling contributions
Joining community test events
